Lived 1860 – 1940 (aged 79–80). Henry Goodwin Smith was an American theologian.

Henry Goodwin Smith (January 8, 1860 in New York –1940) was a United States theologian, the son of Henry Boynton Smith.

He was pastor of the Freehold (New Jersey) Presbyterian Church in 1886-1896, and from 1897 to 1903 was professor of systematic theology in Lane Theological Seminary.
